installation via ssh: documentation wiki out of date

[ChrisG]

For the benefit of beginners like me who are reliant on step-by-step instructions when installing:

The documentation wiki instructions on using ssh to install are not at present reliable.

It is not sufficient to replace the version number 0.12.1 in the given wget command with 1.0.6. You apparently also need to change the number 445 in the middle of the wget command. If you don't, you get a tar file on your server called 1.0.6 which expands as version 0.12.1!

In another thread, Dev Team Member tsw gave me the following, which works properly:

wget http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/downlo ... 0.6.tar.gz

I am reluctant to update the wiki without understanding what the 1246 signifies, so I have drawn Ted's attention to this issue and he says he will update the wiki.

1246 is un unique ID and works for that version only.
For download use forge or direct page for cmsms download

Thanks.

The wiki says you have to check the current version number, but it doesn't even mention this unique ID. How can you find out what ID to use?

As I've said, I think someone who understands all this needs to update the wiki for the benefit of us beginners, so that the ssh method of installation works properly.

cool, forge gives files according to id not filename so even

wget http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/downlo ... sta.tar.gz

works

Cool? Only if you know the ID number.

I've now realised how you can establish the ID number, and have updated the documentation accordingly.

I hope, as a result, other new users of this excellent cms will have less trouble than I did in getting the correct up-to-date system installed.
